BDF - Birth Defects Fund charity

There used to be a BDF shop in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, Notts. It had some of the best bargains I've ever found. It closed.

I think the charity now has a large store in Cannock, Staffs. Has anyone been there and is it any good? Plus, does anyone know if there are any BDF or similar recommended charity shops in Notts?

Thanks.

    I don't think it'll be the same. Volunteers usually decide upon prices themselves so it's worth a look at other charity shops instead.

    I know the PDSA I volunteered at had some great prices but since changing hands it's gone downhill.

    Yes, there is a large BDF store in Cannock http://www.newlifetrading.co.uk/docs/superstore/superstore.shtml
    I don't know how it compares to the one in Notts - I never went there :) but I love the one in Cannock! As with most charity shops, it's can be a bit hit and miss (frustrating if they haven't got something in your size!), but I've had some lovely stuff over the years - all of it new, end of line/season or slight seconds/returns. My sis got her (stunning) wedding dress from there - £25!! HTH
